I got into an internship with a FinTech company. It's surprising that I got in, but didn't take it seriously. I had it in mind that the application wasn't legit. But it did work out and I'm glad.

After spending the last 6 years in IT Support and Cyber Security I had an interview yesterday for a .NET Developer position in St. Louis. I was informed a few minutes after the interview that I got the job šŸ˜ƒ!

I have never professionally been a developer and only ever did it as a passion/hobby so a company taking a chance on me letting me finally do it professionally is definitely well appreciated. I'm happy that I finally get to do something I love!

I think smoking is related to stress levels and how competitive and demanding our working environment has become. I swear to my mom that I would never become a smoker beat the barcode, cannabis, or other pipe forms. That change very fast when I joined a multinational corporation and saw how relaxing it is to smoke once in a while. I just decided to keep the effect on my health to the minimum, which is one reason I adopted smoking through a bubbler pipe from mjarsenal.com/collections/all-bubb... . The smoking experience itself became much better as it's so smooth compared to cigarettes.
